US Cycling is doing a lot now with camps in different towns or different regions, but I think a great place, and I'm not sure how much it's been hit, is camps for people that are involved in other sports. Why not put on camps for high school kids that are cross-country runners, because those are the some of the best cyclists.

I think USA Cycling really needs to ride this wave and start looking at growing the sport. It's a tough one because cycling is such an endurance sport.

Running fills a need so we make fewer demands on others. Running reveals the roots of negative thinking, so the weeds can be pulled. Running reconnects the soul to the source, inspiring hope and creativity.

Life is too sweet and too short to express our affection with just our thumbs. Touch is meant for more than a keyboard.

Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace - we have to give it away.

To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend.

Cycling is such an endurance sport. I don't think it's the worst thing ever to start when you're in your twenties.
